## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability tanod-web-gleif-lei-search-96e2808a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you search the GLEIF register for the LEI of 'Siemens AG' in Germany and return up to 10 results?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a company's Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) from the authoritative GLEIF register by name, particularly for compliance workflows (KYC, AML, regulatory reporting). Prefer this over general company search endpoints when LEI codes or entity status are specifically required, or when you need to match on legal name rather than trading name.

## Known failure modes

- No matching entities found for the given name — returns empty results array with count 0
- Company name too short (under 2 characters) — validation error
- Limit out of range (below 1 or above 20) — validation error
- Invalid ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code — validation or empty result
- GLEIF upstream service unavailable — may return 5xx error
- Ambiguous name matching many entities — results truncated at requested limit

## How this service works

Web tools: search, page to Markdown or screenshot, company profile and jobs, sitemaps, RDAP, IP.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with total match count, the query string, cache status, data source attribution (GLEIF CC0), applied country filter, a list of matching entities each containing LEI code, country, legal name, entity status (e.g. ACTIVE), and registration status (e.g. ISSUED), plus the field matched on (legal_name or full-text).
